"Hudson, do you want to go over this auction?"

Melissa asked eagerly.

"Master Khamboy" is a god-like being for all magicians. The discovery of his laboratory is bound to attract countless eyes.

As a magician, Melissa is no exception. Looking at the eager expression, it was clearly saying: Take her with you.

After living together for a few years, Hudson still has this little judgment. It's a pity that the laboratory thrown by the Moxi people is not necessarily true!

Under normal circumstances, when this kind of thing is discovered, everyone wants to hide it tightly, who will make the information public?

Even if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves!

Of course, counterfeiting is not too much. Judging from the previous treasure excavations of the Moses, the laboratory must have been used by Master Khamboy, and it is difficult to say whether it was discovered just now.

As a top powerhouse, Khamboy traveled to the mainland and left footprints in many places.

It was only then that he suddenly disappeared mysteriously and did not leave a systematic inheritance. None of his students, including his students, have been able to fully inherit the results of Master Khamboy's work.

"Go, must go!

The newly discovered Kemboy Master's Laboratory should have maintained its original appearance, and as a magician, how could he not visit it?

Idle at home, nothing to do. Melissa, come along, go shopping! ”

Hudson said with a smile.

It doesn't hurt to go out for a walk, but this invitation is George's handwriting. It doesn't seem to say anything, but it actually says everything.

The situation is very obvious, the Principality of Moxi is about to run out. Fortunately, the Principality of Moxi does not have a high presence on the mainland, which makes all parties ignore the past.

It's just this kind of thing, I can hide from the first year of junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth. Keep tracking, and you'll definitely find them.

Evidence is not evidence, those are minor problems. Framing is not a difficult job.

In recent years, the Duchy of Moxi has been spending a lot of money. The Alpha Kingdom, which is in a better situation, is poor, and the Principality of Moxi, which has a greater expense, can actually be unaffected.

Digging for treasure, that's the rhetoric of the Mossi government. But this excuse can only fool ordinary people.

If someone counts the expenses of the Principality of Moxi in recent years, it is easy to find that the little income from the treasure is only a drop in the bucket.

Investigating at the source is certainly simpler than nonsensical investigation. Once the parties lock the suspicion onto the Duchy of Moxi, it is only a matter of time before it is exposed.

In order to launder money, the Principality of Moxi has also done a lot of things, digging for treasure is only one of them, and gold and silver mines are also emerging in an endless stream.

The most efficient way to launder money is to direct and act out bearer bonds.

Nominally, the Duchy of Mossi issued bearer bonds amounting to 200 million gold coins, and the annual fiscal revenue was only enough to cover the interest on the funds, as if the Mossi government could go bankrupt at any time.

Even so, it can't keep up with the huge spending. This is the price that must be paid for swallowing an elephant.

Just looking at the Near East, we know that in just two years, the nobles of the kingdom have dropped twenty or thirty million gold coins on this land.

Hudson's Snow Moon Collar alone smashed more than eight million gold coins into it. Even if it sits on the Crescent Port and levies a high smuggling tax, it will only return more than 1.5 million gold coins.

The Principality of Moxi swallowed up an area far larger than the Near East, and resettled tens of millions of refugees, how could it be possible without spending money?

Hudson roughly calculated that the cost of the Moxie government would be as high as 150 million gold coins just to fill the holes during the orc invasion, including repaying foreign debts, relieving bankrupt nobles at home, and rebuilding the principality after the war.

Before he could recover, a continental war ensued. As one of the main belligerent countries, the Mossi people once again felt a wave of money being spent.

Combined with the subsequent expenses, Hudson estimated that the capital hole of the Duchy of Moxie would not be less than 400 million gold coins.

Under normal circumstances, when encountering such a black hole of funds, the only way left for the Moxi people is to go bankrupt.

Not to mention that the territory has been expanded, and the people can not starve to death in large numbers, they can be regarded as young and promising monarchs.

In the face of adversity, a hard trip has a smooth road. I have to admit that George's courage is just a little lost when the sequelae are serious.

Hudson came up with this bad idea back then, just to solve the urgent needs of the Moxie government, and he never expected George to carry it forward.

Judging from the feedback from various places, except for the area controlled by the Holy See, which has not been impacted, almost all Terran countries have leaked their inheritance.

It's just that the inheritance knowledge obtained by each country is different, and the earliest one obtained by the nobles of the Alpha Kingdom is directly contributed by an unlucky nobleman in the Principality of Moxi, and the rest are from other destroyed countries.

More than thirty percent of the nobles in the continent are paying for the rapid development of the Principality of Moxie, and if there are economic problems again, it will really be impossible to say.

Some time ago, the Alpha Kingdom also broke out a money shortage of unprecedented scale due to a large outflow of gold and silver.

It stands to reason that the more serious the outflow of gold and silver, the more serious the Duchy of Moxi, the crisis will only be worse, and nothing will happen in the end.

Obviously, it is by selling off the inheritance of knowledge, and the cash obtained from all over the mainland fills the huge hole of gold and silver outflow.

It's just that the Moxi government will play a show, digging "big gold mines" one after another, and constantly misrepresenting the gold production, so that the outside world mistakenly believes that the gold mined fills the gap.

Watching his good brother crazy to accumulate money, Hudson can only envy from the sidelines. This money can be earned by the Principality of Moxi, but it does not mean that he can also earn it.

It is very dangerous to make a profit that exceeds your risk tolerance. Without the support of the state, I am afraid that the first step will be stuck on the individual alone.

Just screening potential customers is not something Hudson can accomplish. However, for a country, which nobles are rich and which nobles are poor may only be basic information.

has been able to keep it secret until now, in addition to the cautiousness of the Moxi people, there must be bloody methods behind this.

"Hudson, we're all out, what about the kids?"

Melissa asked with a slight hesitation.

Obviously, she also has a lot of interest in Master Kemboy's laboratory, but she is reluctant to have two little ones.

"Don't worry, there are so many people in the lord's mansion, I'm afraid that no one will take care of it?

It just so happened that the old man came to see his grandson and asked him to help bring it for two days, which was not a big problem. ”

Hudson said indifferently.

The current lord's mansion is not the grass platform team of the past. On the left is the Family Knights, and on the right is the Warcraft Legion.

There are a lot of various guardian magic arrays, even if a holy domain powerhouse breaks in, they have to take off a layer of skin.

There is no doubt that Hudson is so young now, far from the time when he needs to think about an heir, and the two little ones are not worth the risk of being a Sanctuary master in the outside world.

If there were really more than one Sanctuary powerhouse as assassins, whether Melissa stayed or not would not have any effect.

Of course, the success rate of assassination is still very low. The Lord's Mansion is so big, and it is not a simple matter to find someone.

Once an Assassin is spotted, he will definitely hide in a secret room. There is a magic array blockade aura, and it is difficult to find people for a while.

After such a long delay, the army guarding the vicinity of the lord's mansion has already surrounded it.

The magic array is superimposed on the army, and if the reaction is slow, the powerhouses of the holy domain are also at risk of falling.

……

With the name of Master Kemboye, the news of the auction has just spread, and it has exploded all over the continent.

Countless old antiques that are rarely seen on weekdays have come out of seclusion and are ready to go to the Duchy of Moxi to find out.

It can be said that George played Dafa this time. In front of many big names, if one of them can't be controlled in the later stage, it is easy to collapse the play.

Hudson had already entered the laboratory, and as a famous magic apothecary on the mainland, how could the Moxies plan the big drama in the name of Master Khamboy without his participation!

In the mezzanine of the invitation, there is also the purchase of magic potions written by George in code. The requirements are simple: the more bizarre and alternative the magic potion, the better, but it must be able to match the identity of Master Khamboy.

Since the buyers are asking for this, Hudson is not welcome!

Pseudo-alchemy master, that is also a master. As a master, you can't avoid having a restless heart.

If there is no efficacy requirement, then it is free to play. Now is different from the past, Hudson has also watched Melissa refining medicine many times, and learned some pharmaceutical processes, at least he can't blow up the furnace.

As for the effect of the magic potion, I don't drink it myself anyway, so I can just play it at will.

Hudson was always dissatisfied with the operation as fierce as a tiger, looking at the final finished potion.

"Maxim, why don't you contribute some blood?"

Hudson asked tentatively.

The dragon knight who dared to ask for dragon blood from the dragon estimated that he was the first. Generally, when this happens, a beating is indispensable.

It seems to be an equal contract concluded, but because of the relationship of strength, most dragon knights have no confidence in the face of dragons.

Everyone can cooperate, mainly relying on "feelings". So if you hurt your feelings, it's better not to say it.

Hudson's situation was peculiar, and the contract signed with Maxim was completed while the dragon was in danger, and the content was more favorable.

"Hudson, don't deceive the dragon too much! Don't think that if you are bound by a contract, I can't do anything about you.

In case of urgency, Benlong will breathe fire during breeding and let ......"

Before Maxim could finish speaking, Hudson hurriedly interrupted: "Enough, Mr. Maxim!"

If buying and selling is not benevolent, how can anyone come up and threaten the buyer. A bowl of dragon blood is 10,000 gold coins, and if you are interested, we will make a deal. ”

The dragon is a treasure, and in the past few days, Hudson has managed to get dragon dung, dragon urine, as well as dragon saliva and bathwater.

There is no doubt that the effect of these discharged garbage is not much better. It doesn't mean much other than confusing the outside world.

But dragon's blood is different.

According to ancient legends, bathing with dragon's blood can wash the muscles and marrow and improve the cultivation qualifications; If it is used in medicine, it can exert more effects.

However, this thing is too precious, and the warrior who dares to reach out to the dragon to ask for blood is rare in the history of the human race.

When it comes to specific research, in fact, magic potions related to dragon blood are still very rare.

"Don't insult me with gold, the great dragon will never succumb to gold!"

Looking at the angry Maxim, Hudson knew that the price had not been negotiated. Perhaps other dragons will stick to their principles, but Maxim is an exception.

"Dear Monsieur Maxim, the price is already fair. With your physique, a bowl of blood is nothing, and I don't want your essence blood.

After taking a nap, you will recover, and it will not affect your body at all.

Forget it, who makes dragon blood rare, I'll add another five thousand gold coins! ”

As soon as Hudson finished speaking, Maxim's anger intensified. After talking for a long time, I still want his blood.

Just fifteen thousand gold coins, trying to make him give in is simply a dream.

Negotiations failed, and Hudson did not continue to raise the price. Doing experiments also has to consider the cost, if it weren't for the fact that dragon blood is too scarce, just in terms of efficacy, the value of an ordinary bowl of dragon blood is so much.

If you can't get the dragon's blood, let alone the bear's blood. Maxim's big guy may not care about a bowl of blood, but Bear Stearns is different, and people have never shed blood when they are so old.

The bear child's means of revenge are terrifying to think about. Hudson didn't want to sleep when the bed suddenly collapsed, and when he pooped, the hut collapsed again.

……

Public opinion continues to ferment, and Pius VII has been in a mess. All the countries on the mainland have problems, and it is inevitable that the Holy See will be suspicious of the unique scenery.

But the problem is that they really didn't do it!

There are many ways to disrupt the mainland, and even if it is to support cult organizations to cause chaos, it is better than wantonly spreading inherited knowledge.

In a short period of time, this kind of change will have a serious impact on the great nobility and exacerbate the internal contradictions of various countries.

However, some problems can be run in, and the current contradiction is mainly the imbalance between supply and demand, and after the completion of a round of political games, all parties will reach a new balance.

In the process, the military strength of the countries of the mainland is rising. Everyone grows their strength together, and if the Holy See doesn't want to be left behind, it can only follow up.

In fact, they are already lagging behind. Many small nobles have been cultivating for several years to obtain inheritance knowledge, and their own strength has risen to a higher level.

One step slow, one step at a time.

Even if the Holy See immediately follows up now, they will not be able to recover the lost time.

Originally, in the competition with the Frankish Kingdom, they were at a disadvantage, but now that they are coming out like this, the gap in strength between the two sides will only be greater.

"Is the result of the investigation out, is this the work of the Franks?"

Pius VII asked with concern.

Whoever is the beneficiary is the suspect.

From the point of view of the Holy See, the most populous Frankish kingdom has gained the most power bonus in this incident, further throwing off their rival and is undoubtedly the biggest suspect.

"Your Majesty, we have investigated, and we have found no trace of the Franks' attack. However, this public opinion turmoil was indeed provoked by them.

It is rumored that in order to make money, we sell problematic inheritance knowledge everywhere.

There are also victims of accidents after cultivation, who have come out in person to speak out and criticize us......"

Ulise said embarrassedly.

He is responsible for gathering intelligence, not producing it. What happened a few years ago, even if they find the little nobles who bought the inheritance, they may not be able to remember what the trader looked like.

What's more, even if you participate in the transaction, it's too late to make a fortune one by one, how can there be Tie Hanhan who takes the initiative to jump out and explain!

Most people deliberately forget this memory after the transaction is completed, and make up a "adventure plot" on their own, which is recorded in the family history.

Ulise sent people out to investigate, and found it in the hands of many minor nobles.

So much so that he is still unsure whether this inherited knowledge was traded, or whether someone really got an adventure.

The main reason is that it has been too long, and even if the Pope himself casts the Great Prophecy Technique, there is no way to go back a few years to track down the truth.

Recently, all kinds of secret intelligence departments have used it all over again. The frequent disappearances of minor nobles have also attracted great attention from countries on the mainland.

In order to prevent all parties from getting caught, the intelligence department had to reluctantly abandon a number of strongholds, and the loss of intelligence personnel was as high as three digits.

"The Franks didn't find a problem, but what about the Alpha Kingdom?

They are in the encirclement of foreign races, and the military pressure is very high, and in order to strengthen their own strength, it is possible to do this kind of thing. ”

Pius VII said with a frown.

If you can't find the number one heretic, then go to the number two heresy, anyway, that's what you did in the past.

According to past experience, more than eighty percent of the shady operations against the Holy See were carried out by these two companies. The remaining 20 percent are the work of other countries on the mainland.

"After investigating, the situation in the Alpha Kingdom is special. Many of the nobles in their country were inherited during the war.

It is said that they also held a special meeting to target Hudson.

There is gossip that the Alpha Expeditionary Force was inherited by a big nobleman in the Duchy of Moxi. In order to keep the secret, Hudson directly pulled a group of nobles in the army to share it.

Because there were so many people involved, it was quickly leaked. Most of the small and medium-sized nobles in their country have been inherited.

From the point of view of time, the strength of a large number of minor nobles has increased, and it also started from the Alpha Kingdom at the earliest.

However, these can only prove that the situation of the Alpha Kingdom, even if it spreads in private, it is impossible to spread all over the continent in a short period of time.

What's more, the little nobles are not stupid, and it is not very realistic to take out the inheritance knowledge they have desperately obtained and share it with others.

Therefore, the self-examination action of the Alpha Kingdom ended in nothing. Hudson is still a high-powered marshal of the kingdom, and he has not been affected by the turmoil! ”

Ulise's answer made things even more confusing.

It wasn't the Franks, it wasn't the Alpha, and there were plenty of suspects left.

In recent years, the Holy See's attention has basically been on these two heretical kingdoms, and there is relatively little intelligence investment in other regions.

If further investigation is to be done, it will not be possible to complete it in a short period of time. But time waits for no one, and the pressure from all sides has been rushing, and even the turmoil of Charles III's proclamation as emperor has been diluted a lot.

After all, the emperor is just talking, and has not taken substantive action, and the inheritance of knowledge has already happened.

"Check, keep digging back for me!

If you can't find the real culprit, then try to get to the Frankish Kingdom and the Alpha Kingdom! ”

Patronus VII said ruthlessly.

If you can't find out the truth, then let your competitors take the blame. These are all fine traditions, and that's how everyone throws the pot at each other anyway.

……

The sound of a dragon's groan sounded over the city of Dapest, and for a moment the whole city fell silent, and everyone turned their eyes to the sky.

Lafeng's appearance was not Hudson's intention. Why is the flow of the dragon knight so large, no matter where it is, as long as the dragon knight appears, it will definitely attract the attention of the audience.

As a special guest, Hudson came over this time to help the platform.

After all, it is the laboratory of Master Khamboy, and it is not a small attraction even for the powerhouses of the Holy Domain. Even if the Moses sent heavy troops to protect it, there was no guarantee that no one would take the risk.

Hudson's appearance was deliberately made for these people. Save someone from doing something stupid and messing up this big drama that George has orchestrated.

"Marshal, please come here!

Your Majesty has prepared a banquet in the palace and is waiting for you to come over. ”

A middle-aged officer hurriedly ran to say.

The people who greeted him were all waiting in front of the palace gate, but they didn't expect Maxim to be a confused dragon, so he actually chose a random location and landed.

Fortunately, the Mossi had been prepared and had men in many parts of the city. Otherwise, Maxim would have to take off again and look for the gates of the palace.

"My wife is coming to Dapest for the first time, let's walk around the city first, and then go to the palace!"

Hudson pretended to be calm.

Big people don't go the wrong way, and if they go the wrong way, it must have a deep meaning.
